Drugstore Skincare Gems You Need To Know About!

[@NadaAlawadhi]

For some reason Dr. dray your videos for the last couple of days have been my companions when I really needed comfort. Like I’m stressed out or I just need some company or need to get myself together, your videos make me feel comfortable and put together again ❤

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Me too. Sending comfort to you from Arizona 🌵

[@KasThinks]

Her calm and reasonable voice and steady delivery got me through the pandemic-AND I learned so much about skincare 😅

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Things I learned from Dr. Dray. White Petrolatum is the GOAT 🐐 Use sunscreen Wash your hands, rinse thoroughly and moisturize Sleep well, eat well, and exercise Don’t store your razor in the shower Stop using antibacterial ointments and cleansers Use smaller amounts of products Keep track of expiration dates and don’t buy more than you can use Manage your expectations

[@ciarapaul3802]

Most of Walgreen or CVS products are so expensive.

[@karenwalker8682]

drugstores jack the price way up and act like their silly promotions and coupons make a difference.

[@ciarapaul3802]

@JessaDoDaDay now I like shopping at TJMAXX most of their skincare from $ 4.99 - $5.99 from face wash to moisturizer …

[@MyCleverHandle]

The only time I shop CVS is right after I've picked up my monthly Rx renewals - those coupons really make a huge difference! My favorite body SPF was only $5., and my favorite micellar water was $2.99 for the BIG bottle. I find I overbuy if I keep going to WalMart every time I think I "need" something.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

I agree , CVS & Walgreens are $$$ . Skincare I buy everything fragrance free ON SALE or with coupons , bonus bucks . Otherwise go to target etc I buy most things on sale eg clothing, home goods, etc

[@bdet313]

When I use coupons at CVS, I end up paying less than I would at Target or Walmart.

[@marylawman8603]

While I rarely shop at drug stores because the prices are ridiculous, I still appreciate these types of videos. Most of these products can be found at Wal-Mart or even ULTA cheaper so this is still helpful for me. I also appreciate that you go over ingredients and why they may or may not be good. Thanks so much!! Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! Hope you have a peaceful evening. ❤

[@jenniferrosenthal7731]

I always watch for high Valley coupons and compare prices before purchasing anything. There are low and mid value coupons that come out fairly regularly but it’s the high value coupons that really make it worth it to buy them at Walgreens versus Walmart for me.

[@marylawman8603]

Thank you! I’m going to look into that. I alway try to save money when I can. Everything is so expensive these days.

Drugstore sunscreen at $50! One of the many reasons I don't shop at Walgreens

[@debbiekotch6006]

I stopped using Neosporin and use vaseline as per your recommendation Dr. Dray.. works great. Keeping your hands moisturized assists in quick healing. Thank you for all your good advice. I use "tears" for my eyes.

[@acetone_loc]

Thank you SO much for the Neosporin info. The last scratch I put this on got angry, red, and itchy. I finally decided to remove it and the bandage to see if it'd heal on its own. Lo and behold all the angry red/itchy cleared up fairly quick. I suspected there was something in the Neosporin that caused it but didn't know til now. thanks for this!

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

Happy New Year! Panoxyl also has an Adapalene gel now. So many brands do and now Skinfix has something called Adapinoid? It’s actually rights reserved. What I’m wondering is why none of these companies have incorporated soothing and hydrating/moisturizing ingredients into an Adapalene product yet? I’d looove to see that!

[@prettynsleepy1073]

La roche posay Sun creen I have bought from CVS so when I have like the 40% off coupon I would never pay full price for it but I also do love the banana boat sensitive skin sunscreen

[@DomesticDivaXO]

I love Neosporin. Been using it for years with no problems. In fact, it soothes the pain and helps to heal faster.

[@karenl9601]

I ditched all my drugstore skincare except for Cerave nightly exfoliant. I use Riversol 3 step routine plus their retinol serum and sunscreen. It may seem expensive but the products actually last for months since they are very concentrated and you actually only need to use very small amounts. If you are in Canada, particularly the Vancouver area, the products are all made there and shipping is super fast, usually 1-2 days. Try their free sample offer. You will love it.

[@spanierk]

I've tried their (Riversol) products and found they were only so-so and *way* too expensive. I appreciate Dr. Dray's more reasonably priced suggestions for the same kinds of products.

[@karenl9601]

@@spanierk I guess we disagree that drugstore products are the "same kinds of products" as the Riversol products.The 3 piece kit is $139cdn so about $100usd and it lasts me 5 months. That's cheaper than drugstore and much better results. Their retinol is $88cdn and it lasts me just about 3 months and is much better and effective than any drugstore retinol I've tried.

[@lindabenson1764]

I know the Avene face & body sunscreen @ ~ $50 seems crazy expensive but I noticed it was 4.1 ozs. so that's ~ $12.20 an oz. & therefore, in line with A LOT of other drugstore sunscreens (that are packaged at 1 oz. or 1.7 ozs.)😊 Love ❤ your videos Dr. Dray!!!

[@nicoleayala4153]

That actually makes sense tbh. I could definitely justify spending $50 on it then. For me personally as someone that struggles with acne and very sensitive skin, I’d rather spend a pretty penny on good quality skincare than hundreds of dollars on makeup that will make me break out anyway lol

[@danielegagnon7920]

Happy New Year! 2023 was a prolific year for new products! Thank you for sharing and informing us about these new products! I've been following you since the beginning of your videos and I appreciate the work and time you give to your subscribers! With your recommendations, my skin looks better and better. Perseverance and consistency have enabled me to radically change my skin! Thank you so much for everything!

[@karenl9601]

The problem with drugstore skincare is that after a few years of using a product you love they discontinue it. I'm so tired of that and it's exhausting to constantly research and find new products. I switched to a locally made product line by a respected dermatologist and it was the best decision. No more wasting time and effort researching and buying local is much more satisfying not to mention easy and effortless; I place my order online and 2 days later it's in my mailbox.

[@dabbsie100]

Lid Scrubs have been prescribed by my ophthalmologist because I have blepharitis. They’re great.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Thanks for saving us money! I was about to add eyelid wipes (which can be handy for elders, btw) to my shopping list but listened and my Cetaphil cleanser should be fine. My eye area is very agitated, but not painful if I leave it makeup free, and I know it's mostly from glitters & over scrubbing. Just redid my counter for "reset" season. Instead of sober January, I'm giving up eye makeup, actives, serums, & masks... I'd rather quit booze lol!

[@SB_41]

I've steered clear of drugstore products. The prices are crazy ---- > Aveeno Calm+Restore is just so costly. I have switched to The Inkey List and The Ordinary.

[@CC-cf4zm]

My store told me that the spf and especially lip spf are mostly sold in the spring summer season and not winter…you have been mentioning their absence a bit lately. Well that is why

For those of us who have stopped buying at drugstores due to the rising cost, I’ve got it down to an exact science: 1. Walmart for my CereVe and ELF cleansers & makeup, and 2. Stylevana for my K & J products (cheapest site, but be prepared to wait 8 weeks for your order).

I have ALL the symptoms of ocular rosacea but I have type 1. I've also had rosacea for 22 years now. I need a proper diagnosis to see if its ocular rosacea or not. I use the Refresh PF Omega 3 eyedrops in the individual little containers. It's the best one I've tried for my dry eyes. I use Nasacort and an antihistamine medication as well. I digress. 😅 I clean ALL the time, dust, santitize, use fragrance free everything, wash my hands 35657 times a day and my eye symptoms have not changed. 😭🥴. So, an ophthalmologist appointment soon!

[@Hemmyii]

Have you tried Avenova hypochlorous spray? It’s the only thing that keeps my ocular rosacea calm. My ophthalmologist offered a laser treatment but it’s crazy expensive and it freaks me out

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love walking the aisles with Dr Dray. My mom and my sister, both nurses, swear by diluted Dettol for wound cleaning and foot soaks. Does it contain the same fungicide ingredients as Listerine?

Capsaicin cream is good for arthritis BUT NEVER USE ON WET OR DAMP SKIN. My mother did put it on while damp after a bath, and it was totally super chilli on her skin. Like rocket fuel, she ran round the house to cool off, so I guess it fixed the hip twinges.

In October 2022, 3 months ago, I put Frankincense essential oil on my face for my hyperpigmentation. I got an actual chemical burn, and worsened the hyperpigmentation, spread all over my face. Now seeing a dermatologist and using triple combo cream (tretinoin, hydroquinone, and steroid cream), which is working to fade the damage I have done. Been on it 1 month. One more month to go on this, then am told I need to stop it and we will reassess what to do next depending on what my skin response it. Am advised that I may need to go to a cosmetologist to learn to cover the damage for the rest of my life.

[@nadab4750]

Hopefully you were also advised to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen everyday, as well as sun protective clothing & accessories and seeking shade. You have to follow this advice and keep it up. Even if you are inside near windows, in the car, or cloudy days. When you check the weather, also check the UV, it can be very high on cloudy days. None of the advice will work unless you are dedicated to wearing a UVA& UVB 50+ sunscreen everyday. Good luck! 👱🏻‍♀️❤️

[@davidmarkins617]

Hey Dr. Dray! Did the Neutrogena sensitive skin face moisturizer get discontinued? All I’ve been able to find is a new “daily facial moisturizer” that the packaging says can be used on sensitive skin. Wondering if it’s the same thing! Love your videos!

I burned my hand on Dec 16 while making tamales. I already use adapalene for hyperpigmentation on my hands. I am barely able to see the burn/redness I am sure it is the adapalene that helped to minimize the scarring.

[@foggybottomz]

Do you find that buying the generic brands at drugstores is a better deal than generic brands at grocery stores (HEB)? I seldom go to Walgreens/CVS because the prices seem inflated but maybe there’s a deal to be had with shopping frequently and collecting points? Or do you show Walgreens/CVS where because most people have access to one?

[@Username0467]

It can be very cheap if you combine deals with coupons and points. It a common super couponing spot.

Bree The Coupon Queen does weekly CVS and Walgreens deals. I only shop there when I have a really good coupon (basically free or under $1.50 for a bunch of products). MyWalgreens and CVS Extra Care are free programs, but it’s not a point system so I wouldn’t shop to accumulate anything.
